SAD: Nursery Kids In Abenabo Carry Their Own Stool To School
Nursery kids in Abenabo, a farming community in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region, have trouble getting to school.
At the Abenabo Presby Nursery School, these kids between the ages of 4 and 7 are seen carrying their parents’ kitchen stools and chairs to school. Because there aren’t enough desks and chairs in their school, they have to sit on these things to learn.
We often think of these kids as the future leaders of the country, but this situation shows how lonely they are. In spite of the fight for free basic education for all, this is how they are being kept from getting a good education.
Even though the school is thought to be one of the oldest in the town, it doesn’t even have a single chair for the kids to make learning fun.
From what we know, kids who go to school without their kitchen stools end up having to study while sitting on the floor.
Because of this, some of the kids get infected with bacteria and get sick easily. Because of this, they can’t go to school every day.
In an interview, Rose Adjatey, one of the Nursery Kids, said that she was worried about how things were going for them. She said, “Learning in school is not fun at all because there aren’t enough good chairs and desks for learning.”
“We have to bring our parents’ kitchen stools to school every day, and we have to bring them back when school is over. “What’s funny is that our parents use the same chairs in the kitchen at home to do their housework,” she said.
The Odikro of the Abenabo Community, Nene Narteh Akrota II, said that the situation was very bad, and he thought that it had hurt the schoolchildren’s grades.
The Worried Chief said, “We have asked the authorities several times to help us solve the problem, but to no avail.”
“The MP for Suhum, Oboafo Kwadwo Asante, and the Suhum Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Margaret Darko, don’t seem to care at all, even though they’ve been asked to help several times,” he said.
Nene Akrotia II asked the Ghana Education Service (GES), the MP for the Suhum Constituency, the Suhum MCE, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s), and individuals to help them.
